HOWTO: Install and tweak E17 Enlightenment
NOTE: 1(and maybe more) of the mentioned repositories doesn't exist at this current time.
QUICK AND DIRTY E17 HOWTO
Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
deb http://soulmachine.net/debian unstable/
Add the following lines to /etc/apt/preferences
(If this file doesn`t exist, create it.)
(Don't know how necessary it is, but it worked for me.)
Code:
Package: enlightenment
Pin: version 0.17.0_pre10*
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: enlightenment-data
Pin: version 0.17.0_pre10*
Pin-Priority: 999
Create a file called e17.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions/
Add the following lines to this file:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=e17
Comment=
Exec=enlightenment
Icon=
Type=Application
Using synaptic, install the following packages:
Code:
enlightenment 0.17.0_pre10-0cvs20050216
enlightenment-data 0.17.0_pre10-0cvs20050216
eutils 0.0.1-0cvs20050215
E17 should now be available as a session from the gnome login screen.
Once in E17, the following commands are useful:
Code:
enlightenment_remote -module-load flame - Loads the flame module. :D
enlightenment_remote -module-load snow - Loads the snow module.
e17setroot -s <imagename> - Loads image, and scales to backdrop.
(type e17setroot on it's own for other options)
Once you have loaded a few backgrounds to test with, you can select them easily using the emblem E17 background selection tool, as all .eet files created with e17setroot are automatically stored in $HOME/.e/e/background/
(Just type emblem in the terminal)
This is a great resource.
Hope this helps, apologies for any errors.

Re: HOWTO: Install and tweak E17 Enlightenment
I was just getting ready to give it a try - thanks.
I'll be darned - it worked. This is engage running right after an apt-get.

Re: HOWTO: Install and tweak E17 Enlightenment
It worked [yay @]
Now how do I edit the menus and the bar ? [like removing KDE terminal from favorite menus and adding mine, etc] ?

This is a quick guide to menu/launcher editing - but I haven`t done extensive testing. If all is well, I`ll add this to the howto. It deals mainly with creating entries, but will show the path to removing entries as well, using the .order files.
First off, launch the application you want to create an 'icon' for.
Click the top left corner (but not the border!) with the left mouse button and select "Create Icon". Note that you need e_utils (which needs e17/libs/engrave) installed in order for this to work. (You should have this package installed already if you followed the howto.)
An .eapp file will be created and moved to ~/.e/e/applications/all.
Next, you need to add this .eapp file to the relevant .order file. These order files are what e17 parses when starting the apps, and are stored in the following directories:
Code:
iBar: ~/.e/e/applications/bar
E17 menu: ~/.e/e/applications/favourite
Engage: ~/.e/e/applications/engage
Here's and example iBar .order file:
Code:
firefox.eapp
xmms.eapp
engage.eapp
entice.eapp
evidence.eapp
Note that you can also create subdirectories for the menu. Simply make directories within ~/.e/e/applications/favourite and create .order files in each one of them.
Here's an example:
assuming that you have the following directories
Code:
~/.e/e/applications/favourite/music
~/.e/e/applications/favourite/web
you can make a ~/.e/e/applications/.order which contains the following text:
Code:
terminal.eapp
music
web
This would create a menu that first shows the terminal icon and then has 2 directories - music and web. Following this system you'll also need to create .order files in those directories to select what .eapp files to have and in what order you want them to be in.
If you don`t want to create your own icons - the author of engage has a ton of them rolled already for your pleasure here .
Note, that this has been heavily lifted from the site I linked to in the howto - but I`ve parsed it and packaged nicely for my fellow Ubuntians.
Good luck, and let us know if it works.

I haven`t been able to test this - but I would have thought it would work better on Warty than Hoary at the moment.
NB. I am on Hoary.

I`m pretty surprised - do you have any esoteric stuff from universe installed? As far as I know, the .deb package was made for a vanilla debian based system.
